For the first match, former tag-team and dance partners Kelly Kelly and Layla faced off tonight on WWE Superstars. Amazing match! Definetly worth watching! Both of these ladies have extreme talent.. And I’m glad to see Layla in a singles instead of a tag-team.
Kelly Kelly vs. Layla
“Holla! Holla!” Kelly Kelly comes out with Natalya to her theme, Layla comes out with Michelle McCool to her theme as well. “Flawless!”
Quick Note: All of the Diva’s look gorgeous tonight! Kelly Kelly and Michelle especially.
Shortish match up.. the two square off, Kelly coming off the top rope, but a release from Layla. Looks like that broke some ribs. Layla with a pin-up and a kick out by Kelly. Layla with a neckbreaker and a kick to the back. Layla grabs Kelly by the hair and puts her in a leglock. Kelly’s fighting to stay in, Layla pinches Kelly’s nose and Kelly attacks her. She’s still locked in though. Kelly with a release and… never mind. A kick down by Layla.
Quick Note: Is anyone else loving this singles action? They should do this more often!
Come on Kelly! Her “tribal” scream as she repeatedly slams Lay into the mat. Shit! A pin by Layla.. and a count-out. Kelly goes for the pin after a slam and.. very close count. Kick-out by Lay. Layla is imitating Natalya and her “beard”. Layla locks in the sharpshooter and is too distracted with taunting Natalya, that Kelly gets out. Natalya chokes Layla on the rope and Kelly rolls up Lay for the three count.
Cue the opening and we are welcomed to Portland. Matt Stryker welcomes the remaining ladies to the ring.In a surprising development Matt is wearing a sweater vest. Matt congratulates the ladies for surviving the first elimination and we begin a new set of challenges.
Challenge #1: Name that Tune.
The girls will hear a tune and can blast a horn to give their answer as we play snippets of WWE theme songs. Each correct answer gives the contestant 100 points. A.J. gets the first 2, Naomi gets number 3, A.J. gets the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth tune. Now the songs are worth 200 points. A.J. gets tune 1, tune 2, tune 3, tune 4, and misses tune 5.
A.J. wins the worst segment in wrestling history. At least it is the worst since NXT last week and mercifully we head to a break.
Last night on WWE NXT, one of the 6 Rookie Divas got voted off, and we FINALLY had our match between Kaitlyn and Vickie Guerrero:
Someone gets eliminated tonight, but which one of the six will it be? What will happen when Kaitlyn meets her pro in the ring?
Matt Striker is on the stage and he brings out the six rookies. Matt reminds them that this is the biggest night of their careers because the WWE Universe and the pros will determine which one of them will no longer be a part of the competition. Matt reminds AJ that she has won three competitions and is closer to immunity. Kaitlyn, Naomi, and Jamie can still get immunity.
Mechanical Bull Ride
It is time for the first challenge and it is time to get the mechanical bull out for a Mechanical Bull Riding Competition. The person who stays on the bull the longest will win the competition. Matt wants someone to demonstrate so the Bellas volunteer. They ride first and it is on super slow. Then it speeds up and they are finally thrown from the mechanical bull.
Naomi is first and her time is 12.5 seconds. The next rookie is Aksana and her time 17.9 seconds so she in lead. AJ is the next to mount the mechanical monster and after commiserating with Kaitlyn before donning Kurt Angle’s cowboy hat. AJ with a time of 9.6 seconds. Jamie is the next one to go and her time is 10.9 seconds. Maxine gets to be on top . . . of the bull and she lasts 9.8 seconds. Kaitlyn is the final one to challenge the bull and she ends up with 10 seconds.

Wheelbarrow Challenge
Matt says that being a diva means having athleticism and poise. This week’s challenge is a wheelbarrow challenge. They need to go around the ring once and the Diva with the fastest time wins.
Maxine goes first, but before she gets to use the wheelbarrow, Matt says that they need to add a challenge. They need to put something big and heavy in the wheelbarrow. Hornswoggle comes out and he will be riding in the wheelbarrow and he has his helmet. Matt warns the rookies that if Hornswoggle falls out of the wheelbarrow, they are disqualified.

We go to a video package for AJ. She says that her style is different. She says that she represents the nerds. She says that she didn’t mind staying at home on Saturday nights playing video games. She says that she did not have a lot growing up. She says that they didn’t have a lot but they had each other. AJ says that she always dreamed of being a Diva. She says that she remembered waiting in line for tickets for Wrestlemaniain Madison Square Garden. She told her dad that she was going to be in that ring. She says that she is stronger than the other girls and they are not going to get rid of her.
We are finally back and it is time for Josh and Michael to talk about Hell in a Cell. They tell us that the show will be on WWE.com next week at 10:00 PM. We will see the first elimination next week.
It is time to take a look at Kaitlyn. She is from Houston and she says that she played soccer for 13 years. She was in fitness and figure competitions. She finished in the top five in the Arnold Competition. The other rookies cannot do the robot. She wants to be the one who people can laugh with and will push the envelope. She wants people not to be afraid to express themselves. She says that she looks up to Beth Phoenix. Being the next WWE Diva is a huge honor because they are positive role models. Kaitlyn says that she has a lot to learn but she is willing to learn to get to the next level.
It’s time to see what happened at the end of Smackdown when Smackdown last week between Kane and Undertaker.
Matt reminds the rookies that voting starts tomorrow so this could be their last time in the ring.
Diss the Diva
They will have a chance to tell the other Divas why they have what it takes to be the next breakout star.
Aksana goes first and she thanks Matt. She tells everyone to look at her. She blows kisses to the crowd. She say she go to gym every day, does five hundred sit ups, five hundred crunches and then runten miles. She say she takes care of her body. Aksana says that the others eat pancakes. She asks who is the Arnold Classic winner is. Aksana says she is. She says the other rookies wanna be just like Aksana.
AJ is next and she says that she isn’t going to put the other girls down. She says that she belongs her more than the others. She says that it is time to redefine Diva. You don’t need high heels. They can like video games and comic books. She says that she is a Diva who loves the business. She says that it is about time that the WWE picks AJ.
Kaitlyn is next and she says that before she disses any Diva, she wants to do an impression and she sticks out her butt and Naomi attacks her. She says that even though she fell flat on her butt, she will win Season Three.
Jamie is next. She says that she could talk about how this one is dressed like she is in a circus . . . ON A TRAPEEZE. She can talk about this one who looks and acts like a ten year old on Christmas morning. Jamie says that she knows that she is the best and will win.
Matt reminds the rookies about the concept of the challenge.
Naomi is next and she says that she doesn’t want to diss because her mama told her that if you don’t have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything. If this is about wrestling and entertainment, she has all of them beat. She knows it, the WWE Universe knows it, and so do the other rookies. Naomi says that Kaitlyn was talking about her in a confessional but we know that the only reason why Kaitlyn won was because Naomi messed up. She says that Vickie almost had a better time than Kaitlyn did. She says that Kaitlyn is too cocky and too arrogant. She tells Kaitlyn to say it to her face next time.
Maxine is the final rookie to diss and she says that she is sick and tired of the typical Diva. They are all the same. So overly perky and nice. They smile when they lose. She asks everyone what can you do with a nice girl? Take her home to mom and bake cookies. She says that is so boring. She says that nice girls can’t get things done in a man’s world.
Winner: AJ
AJ celebrates by hugging and kissing Matt.
Vickie Guerrero rises from her chair and walks to the ring and gives a few ‘Excuse Mes’. Vickie tells Kaitlyn that week after week she tries so hard to make her into a reflection of her. Vickie says that she is a success. She wants the WWE Universe to feel her pain with what she has to deal with.
Kaitlyn says that she has tried her hardest and all Vickie has done is bring her down. The first elimination is around the corner so she might not have another opportunity to do this. She challenges Vickie to a match.
Vickie asks Kaitlyn if she knows who she is dealing with. Vickie accepts and she says that she will show everyone that she is the pro and that Kaitlyn is nothing. Vickie slaps Kaitlyn and Kaitlyn pushes Vickie down. They fight on the mat until Matt separates them.
They go to a recap of last week’s show before the theme song and accompanying video plays. Josh Matthews welcomes us and reveals that Cole is not here. Matthews tells the viewers they can unmute their TVs because it’s an hour-free Cole session. CM Punk’s music hits and he heads out wearing a brown jacket). Punk is going to be taking Cole’s place on commentary and the comedy begins almost immediately as he rips up a picture of Matthews. “Shut Up, Josh” is the phrase of the day!
Ladies are in the ring with Matt Striker until Vickie Guerrero hits the mic, “Excuse Me!” She wants it known that it is due to her coaching that Kaitlyn was able to be successful last week. Tonight, Kaitlyn takes on Jamie and LayCool is brought out to assist. LayCool runs down the rookies until Kelly Kelly interrupts and wants a six-woman tag match with the “unified divas champions”.
Musical Chairs (Really!?)
Kaitlyn is first to be eliminated. Jamie is second to go. Maxine gets eliminated and she starts to tug at Aksana’s hair before she is sent off. It’s down to Naomi and AJ and Naomi gets eliminated despite being in the chair fully. The ref said AJ sat first before being bumped by Naomi’s posterior.
Aksana gets her spotlight video.
Backstage, Aksana is approached by Goldust. Aksana’s upset because INS is threatening to deport her due to visa issues. Goldust won’t let anything happen to her.
AJ w/ Primo vs. Maxine w/ Alicia Fox
Maxine takes AJ down and bashes her head off the mat. AJ gets sent into the ropes and hits a shoulder block. AJ cartwheels over her and executes an arm drag. AJ nearly whiffs a roundhouse kick. Maxine fights back and sends her into the ropes but AJ knees her in the face. Maxine hits a drop-toe-hold into the ropes and chokes AJ. Maxine applies a chin lock. AJ tries to fight up but Maxine powers her down. Maxine hits a rookie suplex and gets a one count. Punk sarcastically says this is the greatest TV show on earth.
AJ starts fighting back with clotheslines and a dropkick. Maxine hits a Brain-Buster but AJ floats over for the win. What just happened?
Winner by Pinfall: AJ
Michael Cole comes out and says the majority of the people actually want him on this show. I have to agree. Oh my god I never thought I’d write that. Michael Cole says he’s gotten letter and phone calls asking him to return. He had an epiphany: NXT without him is unwatchable. It’s like Bristol Palin trying to dance. NXT without Michael Cole is just simply bad. What a character he could be. He calls his loyal fans the “Cole-Miners”. Cole says he’s back for CM Punk and Josh Mathews. Michael Cole is back on NXT!
Talk the Talk Challenge
Matt Striker is in the ring with the rookie divas again. This is the “Talk the Talk” Challenge. They’ll be given a random topic to talk about and the audience will judge them. Jamie is given the topic of “teeth”. Michael Cole and CM Punk hilariously rip on her during that. Cole asks for his gong and Punk wonders what her promo has to do with molars. Naomi has nothing to say about “toupees” and just wants to wrestle.
AJ is given the topic of “caffeine”. She cuts a solid promo about passion and love of the business. Michael Cole gives her a standing ovation. Aksana’s topic is “llama”. She says “First of all…” and Punk hilariously thought she said “Constable”. She has no idea what a llama is. She doesn’t even know what a camel is. They just buzz her.
Maxine cuts a terrible promo about a “foot”. Michael Cole says it was horrendous. She says she could squash AJ with her thought. Kaitlyn then cuts the worst promo of the night on the topic of “ignition”. She talks about people’s underwear and says nothing. The commentators were hilarious throughout. They’re singlehandedly making this show watchable.
Jamie , Naomi & Kelly Kelly vs. Lay-Cool & Kaitlyn
Kelly slaps Layla and takes her down with a Thesz Press. Jamie is tagged in and Layla laughs at her before ripping the flower out of her hair. Jamie powers her to the corner and Layla shoves her. Jamie kicks her and hits a body slam. Layla says she’s too good for this and tags in Kaitlyn. Jamie puts her in a headlock. Kaitlyn fights out and spears her down. Kaitlyn misses an elbow drop and Jamie wrenches the arm.
Naomi is tagged in and they fall… or something like that. Michelle McCool is tagged in and she stomps Naomi in the corner. Punk called her “Nadine”. He’s been getting their names wrong all night. Naomi rolls her up for a one count. Naomi hits some nice moves and a wheel kick in the corner. Naomi is the best rookie on the show. McCool eventually comes back with a belly to belly following a distraction from Layla. McCool tags in Kaitlyn to make the pin and Naomi counters for the win.
Winners by Pinfall: Jamie, Naomi & Kelly Kelly
Kaitlyn pushes Michelle McCool after the match and she’s beat down by Lay-Cool. Vickie Guerrero says she’s sick of Kaitlyn. Punk signs off by saying he’ll be back next week. “This is NXT. For Michael Cole, I’m CM Punk. Shut up Josh!”
After about two or three weeks of segments, finally this week on smackdown we got some diva’s action! Lay-Cool vs Rosa & Kelly Kelly can be watched below.
Both Kelly and Rosa are out first, and may I say they are both having very good hair days! They’re accompanied by Kelly’s rookie Naomi. They enter the ring as usual, and next out we have Lay-Cool, who are looking especially flawless in their matching black attires. We get a small promo for the Night Of Champions match between Melina and one of Lay-Cool, but when we go back to ringside, Layla and Michelle are picking on Naomi.
Kelly and Rosa grab them from behind and start to beat them up a little before throwing them into the ring. Michelle orders a time out from the ref, as Kelly stands opposite, ready to get started. Michelle turns around to Layla and says, “I can’t do this, she’s killing me!” Layla tells her to breathe, and Michelle sits there breathing in and out. This made me laugh a little, they really can get quite ridiculous. But just as Michelle least expected it, Kelly runs forward and jumps on her back before knocking Layla off the apron and down to ringside. The ref then finally rings the bell as Layla gets back up onto the apron.
Kelly kinda’ starts to get a bit mad here. She starts to throw Michelle down onto the apron and screaming whilst hitting her. She throws Michelle into the ring ropes, who then tags Layla and says again “She’s killing me! I can’t do this.” She tells Layla to hold her nose to protect herself from ‘Smelly Kelly’ and Layla and Michelle both turn to take her out, but she counters with a double clothesline. She throws Layla into the turnbuckle and starts kicking her before tagging in Rosa.
Rosa throws her across the ring and tries to irish wip her, but Layla reverses it and Michelle hits her once she hits the ropes. She turns around to Michelle and starts shouting at her in Spanish. She turns around and Layla Kicks her, throwing her down to the ring mat, before distracting the referee so that Michelle can choke her with her boot. Layla goes for the pin but Rosa kicks out, so she puts her into a submission. Rosa starts to elbow her in the stomach in an aid to get her off, but Layla just throws her down again. Rosa tries to crawl over to Kelly for the tag, but Layla pulls her back, and runs forward to Kelly, knocking her off of the apron. Rosa tries to hit her finisher on Layla but Michelle comes in and kicks her, so she falls.
Layla hits the neckbreaker on Rosa and then gets the 3 count! Even though Lay-Cool were victorious again, I am insanely glad we had a divas match on Smackdown! It was also a nice little build up to Night of Champions. So until next week, bye! (:
Last night on NXT, things got a little wild. Let’s see… Vickie shows more respect to her rookie, we have a Joke Off… Isn’t this supposed to be wrestling? And, 2 actual matches.
Dolph Ziggler and Kaitlyn def. Primo and AJ
When the ladies were in the match the action wasn’t the greatest. Kaitlyn is showing her greenness. Ziggler gets a trio of slaps from AJ after Ziggler decided to block her from making the obligatory tag to Primo. Once Primo comes in, although getting in a few quick offensive moves, it doesn’t take long before he gets hit with the Zig Zag.
Viewers get to learn more about Maxine. She went to school for Forensic Science and used to work in that field.
Joke Off
AJ tells the joke about a blonde hiding in a potato sack and saying “potato” when the sack is kicked by the police. Aksana speaks in her native tongue before repeating a wife/girlfriend joke. Jamie gets the crowd involved in her “knock knock” joke. Naomi tosses out the ol’ calling a dog with no legs joke. Maxine gets in the face of AJ and the two get into a little scuffle. Kaitlyn picks on AJ as well and slaps her. The two ladies scuffle as well.
The crowd was booing every lady besides Jamie. Suffice to say, Jamie won the competition.
Michael Cole is not happy and repeatedly hitting a gong. He tells the divas, Matt Striker, and the fans in attendance that they all deserve to be gonged.
Jamie Keyes def. Aksana
We get some attempt by Jamie to work the arm of Aksana. Aksana is able to hit a couple clotheslines. After missing a charge attack, Aksana is rolled up by Jamie for a pin.
Naomi’s time to shed some light on her time prior to NXT. Dancing for years, Orlando Magic crew, athletic ability.
We get a shot of the post-match celebration of Ziggler and Kaitlyn from earlier. Vickie was not pleased to see Kaitlyn being embraced by Ziggler. Backstage, Vickie tells Ziggler he might be in danger of losing all “this” (Vickie).
Obstacle Course
Vickie interrupts Dolph and Kaitlyn talking about her win. Vickie tells Kaitlyn that she needs to talk to Dolph. Vickie wants to know what the deal is. He tells Vickie that she was excited that she won. Vickie says that if Dolph pulls that again, he will lose ‘all this’ as Vickie does random hand gestures.
Kaitlyn is the first up but Vickie wants to show her how to run the course with perfection. We get some stretching and yoga before Vickie hits the course. She does a pretty good job, despite struggling on the big wall. The push-ups were done better than some of the guys on NXT season 2. She eventually trips and falls on her face. The screaming commences. The crowd chants at her.
It is now time for the rookies to go. Kaitlyn goes first and her time is 36.5 seconds and she adds some flair by going across the finish line on the container. Aksana is next and she give time of 37.2 seconds. The next participant is AJ and her time is 46.0 seconds. Maxine finishes in 39.1 seconds. Jamie is the next to go and her time is 36.8 seconds. The final person to challenge Kaitlyn is Naomi. Her time is an afterthought at 57.4 seconds.
Kaitlyn lives up to Vickie’s guarantee and Vickie celebrates with Kaitlyn.
The results for the Obstacle Course are as follows;
Kaitlyn: 36.5 seconds
Aksana: 41 seconds
AJ: 46 seconds
Maxine: 39.1 seconds
Jamie: 36.8 seconds
Naomi: 57.4 seconds (due to having to do the tires and push-ups over)
Michael Cole hits the gong again. He calls all of this ridiculous. He says that this show violates everything about his journalistic integrity. He says that he was a war correspondent and he is doing this. Cole says that he is done with this show.
...the NoH8 Campaign. NoH8 is a silent protest photo project against California Proposition 8. But, we're not the only ones. Former WWE Divas Lilian Garcia and Maria Kanellis do too.
